Picture Book Month: Birds

I love this accessible non-fiction story about all the different types of bird nests there are! With just four, short lines of text for each type of nest this book is perfect for even the youngest readers. The book also provides a little more information about each nest that can be shared if readers want to know more. What I liked most is that you see the typical twig nest in a tree, but you also see a penguin nest, a flamingo nest, a duck nest, a shorebird nest and so many others! And with collage illustrations showing different colors and textures this is a fun book to share with the whole family!
